Changing Husbands

Su Xianzhu was born into a powerful family, doted on by her parents. Her husband was ten years older than her, but at least he was handsome and dignified, and the ruler of Yizhou. There was just one problem: he was so cold toward her that he refused to touch her.

Su Xianzhu thought it was simply because they were newlyweds.

Until she had a dream.

In it, her husband and a woman who had grown up with him were deeply in love. He had married Su Xianzhu on impulse after an argument with that woman, while she had rashly agreed to marry someone else out of spite.

The man promised to her was her husband's subordinate, the renowned young general Pei Shaoqin.

Not only did her husband absurdly try to steal the woman away on the day of her wedding to Pei Shaoqin, he also used the opportunity to punish Pei Shaoqin severely. From then on, whenever the couple argued or lost their tempers, Pei Shaoqin was inevitably caught in the crossfire.

As a result, Pei Shaoqin was left with a chronic illness, stripped of his military post, and eventually driven out of Yizhou.

Su Xianzhu, the wife her husband had married out of spite, barely survived in the inner court, watching her youth waste away.

Years later, she saw the young general of old lead his troops into Yizhou. Flames lit up the sky. Facing his former lord and his former fiancée, he remained cold-faced and struck with his blade.

Su Xianzhu jolted awake, suddenly remembering that a few days earlier her husband had brought home a woman named Yu Jiao, claiming she was the daughter of an old friend, and installed her in the inner court, where she was pampered like royalty.

Su Xianzhu's heart sank. She decided to make the first move.

So she went to find Pei Shaoqin. At that moment, he was kneeling in the snow as punishment.

Su Xianzhu took off her cloak and draped it over him.

Pei Shaoqin looked up in a daze.

There stood the lord's beautiful wife, famous for her looks, gazing down at him in the snow.

He spoke with difficulty. "Sister-in-law..."

"Get up," she said softly. "Come to my side."
